Topic: Size of mailboxes (Read 790 times)

Is there a reason why I can only keep 50 messages in my PM inbox, yet my 'Sent Messages' box size is seamingly endless? I would actually prefer this the other way round, as I regularly have to clean up space in my Inbox for new messages.

This actually came up a few years ago when it was discovered that different people had different in-box sizes ranging from 25-250 (and I think the mods' are infinite). The people who would actually know never explained it. The only thing we figured out is that member groups have something to do with. I specifically requested whatever group got me all those pretty little stars to get mine up (from 25 to 50). However, it would seem that there's no difference between 1 star and 4 if you have 50, as well. It wouldn't surprise me if donors got a buff on that, as well. I normally keep tabs on mine so it's not a problem, but I'm one of those weirdos that likes to keep correspondence.

Same .......I requested a change of user group (along with a few others) ages ago but nothing . I'm stuck with my 25 which makes it impossible to keep stuff unless you copy/paste somewhere else or copy/paste/send to yourself and delete - it'll be in your infinite Sent folder Weird.

I remember that conversation, and if I recall correctly - people not in a usergroup have a limit of 25, anyone in a usergroup that is not alumni or mod/admin has 50, and the Alumni can store 150. Mods and admins I've no idea because there's actually a few different groups for them, but all of them likely have no such limitations.
